Delpo will miss the rest of the season.

 

Which means he will drop to 150-something in ranking and then win the gold medal in Tokyo. Maybe, probably :p

 

Yeah, that´s what I heard too... the guy is really one of the most unlucky athletes I know

 

haha, well, if he´ll avoid Murray :p

She becomes the second number 1 (Singles) from :AUS after Evonne Goolagong Cawley.  

 

@Wanderer

Maybe there is a chance for :NZL to have a number 1 in the next 500 years. :p

 

 

The fastest way is to import some Slavic girl.

The road to this week's Challenger in Amersfoort is...not very big :p On my way back from work to the train station today I'd like to take a 5 minute detour and check out a match or two :d

Meh, €10 entry. That's too much for me to probably watch one match. Too bad, I saw and heard Igor Sijsling had just started, that would have been nice.

Tennis pulls further ahead as the top-paid sport for women. Forbes published a list of the highest-earning female athletes and tennis players occupy Top 11 spots on the list (some of them weren't even all that successful in 2018).

 

The only non-tennis athletes are Alex Morgan (soccer), PV Sindhu (badminton) & Ariya Jutanugarn (golf).

At least these numbers sound less idiotic than when making the same list for men :p
